PGIMER develops lab for advanced cancer therapies

The Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) is launching a new laboratory focused on stem cell and gene therapies. This initiative aims to enhance cancer treatment options available to patients. The lab will work on advanced research that may lead to innovative therapies. Scientists believe stem cells can help regenerate damaged tissues and improve healing processes. Similarly, gene therapy has the potential to treat or even cure genetic disorders by correcting faulty genes. PGIMER officials say this facility will bring together experts from various fields to collaborate on cancer research. They hope to fast-track the development of these therapies, making them more accessible for patients in need. This investment in cancer research reflects a growing commitment to combat this disease. With new technologies, healthcare providers aim to offer more effective treatments and improve patient outcomes.
